Field of six, two Mercs, one each of Ret, Khador, Circle, Legion. Time for the shortie to pop out.
Gorten - Earthbreaker, pAlexia + Risen, ATGM + Dude, 2x Press Gangers, Anastasia, Tinker, Gorman, Madelyn, Piper, Thor, Hawk
Objective: Effigy of Valor
Round 1, Destruction.
Into Russ' Legion we go again!
Saeryn - 2x Angel, 2x Scythean, Raek, Naga, Shredder, 2x Death Stalkers, 2x Forsaken
Objective: Fuel
Legion Deploy: I lose the die roll (Dammit Anastasia!), Legion pick first. I decide to take the side with the hill rather than the side with a trench. That black undercoat model in the middle of the line up is the perpetrator, name of Saeryn.
Merc Deploy: Almost a solid square of models.
Legion 1: Everything runs up, Deathstalkers go on either flank. Russ forgets to move Saeryn forward....
Merc 1: The Press Gangers surge forward and spread out. Anastastasia hides behind my Objective. Gorten plonks a wall down, casts Solid Ground and charges forward. Earthbreaker runs up to the hill. Alexia gets tough from the Piper then she goes behind the wall while the battery hangs back. Hawk runs to be in the middle of the Press Ganger blob.
Legion 2: Saeryn moves up and feats. Between her shots, the Deathstalkers, the Naga and the Angels a ton of Press Gangers die. The Raek leaps in to kill Madelyn, one of the Scytheans charges up and kills Hawk. The left Angel has Respawn, all the heavies get Tenacity.
Merc 2: Risen join the battery, one is placed up front for a Thrall to go into the Objective if needed. I upkeep Solid Ground.
The Smurfs (Right Press Gangers) charge the objective, the Raek puts them down to one member from free strikes, he fails to damage the Objective.
Earthbreaker gets Tuned up for damage, walks up along the hill and shoots down the Objective.
Gorten charges and kills the forward Risen, feats all the beasts back 8 inches and Rock Walls in front of himself.
The Commies, still six members strong, jam up the left Angel and Scythean.
Half the Gun Mages aim, half advance. They knock the Raek out of the zone and knock him down, then shoot the left Forsaken dead.
Mercs go to 3 CP.
Legion 3: Right Deathstalker walks up, shoots at Thor and puts him on one box. Left Deathstalker kills two Gun Mages. Angels and Scythean limp forward and kill half the remaining commies. Raek toes the zone and kills the last Smurf.
Merc 3: Solid Ground upkept, rockwall drops, one given to Earthbreaker.
Earthbreaker gets damage, starts shooting at the Raek, after the first few shots we remember it has stealth so I stop.
A pair of the Gun Mages aim, other three advance, opening shot knocks Raek andthe left Deathstalker out of the zone.
Mercs go to 5 CP.
Happy with this one, pretty much textbook Gorten on Destruction.
Mercs on the left.
